Why An Oil Diffuser is Essential For Your Well-Being
Julia Schroeder

Fragranced mist seeps out of my essential oil diffuser, sitting on the other side of the room. I watch the slow evolution of the tear-drop shaped light, changing from blue to green to orange and every color in between. It is relaxing to watch, not to mention the health benefits from vaporized plant matter being absorbed into the body’s bloodstream.

A blend of lavender, eucalyptus, lemongrass and others floats around the room, tickling my nostrils and soothing into my pores. I leave it chugging for a while.

I was gifted an oil diffuser recently. Using it every day since getting it, I already feel revitalized and appreciate the cramped space of my apartment much more. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by my slanted floors and ceilings and lack of storage space, I can sit and unwind after a long day. I also feel uplifted, my energy and self-esteem boosted.

With the beginning of the semester, I began to have a cough and cold. Usually, when I have a cold it is not enjoyable and lasts for longer than I wish. This sickness has lasted for a laughable amount of time, despite a lingering tickle in my throat. I lend belief to healing quickly due to, in part, my oil diffuser. I have not felt so uplifted for this long of a time in a while.

Diffusers spread oil molecules throughout the air that get absorbed into the body through the respiratory system. Essential oils are concentrated liquid with aroma compounds derived from plants. The aroma can cause the nervous system to send signals to the limbic system, which is the memory and emotional control center of the brain.

Numerous health benefits can occur from using essential oils, including improved cognitive functions, mental clarity and enhanced physical well-being. My essential oil diffuser helps get me going by creating a calm atmosphere.

They have been used medicinally throughout history, as early as the 12th century, but are used more recently due to aromatherapy rising in popularity. Essential oils enhance our existence and improve quality of life. It fights off sicknesses, since many oils are anti-microbial. This means that whenever the oil invades the air in vapor form, the organic compounds mingle with airborne pathogens before they plague the body.

Some diffusers also work as humidifiers which keep airways in the body healthy and clear. Oil diffusers can reduce inflammation and congestion, which makes it easier to breath.

It has adaptogenic qualities, which mean it soothes nerves or boosts spirits, depending on what you need. Several types of oils are known for the ability to balance hormones, with regular use.

If you wonder, where can I find an oil diffuser? A variety of brands of diffusers and essential oils can easily be found online if searched on Google or Amazon. What I use, and recommend is the Seneo Ultrasonic Humidifier. It has low-energy consumption with reliable and smooth performance, also housing a low price.

Oil diffusers are a safe alternative to candles and incense, and has a better effect on your health. An oil diffuser is essential to have because it clears the air, creates a pleasant environment and soothes the soul.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
